"Since most scholars assume a homeland in the steppes north of the
Black Sea ('Pontus'), here is a slide show attempt (select format
>1264x608 or >1024x493) of this first option. Note that neither this
one, nor the dozens of other Urheimat/homeland hypotheses are in fact
convincingly proven. "
Holmes contradicts himself while criticizing the computer phylogeny
reconstructions.
"The momentarily fashionable phylogeny reconstructions by use of
computer packages rest on at least one of two erroneous beliefs:
4.1. The 'Proportionality trap' (see Ref. IF) that languages were
closer related the more cognates they share (= the smaller the
'evolutional distance'), or even"
If you are going to use lexemes to identify genetic relationships as
he says in the first paragraph
"The many languages spoken between the northwest of Europe to the east
of the Indian subcontinent, combined by their common inherited amount
of lexemes,"
what is wrong with using the same criterion to measure evolutionary
distances?

What would the Indo Hittite tree look like using SLR (Separation Level
Recovery method)?
"SLR could not achieve the correct subgrouping of the Mixe-Zoque
language group used as a test case."

Separation-Level
Method. In preparation."
Can't wait.
